Sometimes news comes in thick and fast, and just this week Grand Seiko decided to launch not one but four new watches. And as always, there’s plenty to talk about but we’ll stick to the important things first. The reason is simple; we’re aiming to follow these up with hands-on coverage as soon as possible […]
If we talk about icons of design made in Japan, there are more than just pagodas, temples or patterns from the Edo era. Some industrial objects, with highly mundane origins, have gained cult status over the years.

The Frederique Constant Classics Carrée is the brand’s take on a great classic: the rectangular dress watch (it is not exactly “square” as the name would suggest). It was first launched in 2003, and several iterations have been presented, in particular with XL and open-heart versions. For 2022, Frederique Constant introduces a clean and elegant […]

William Wood Watches is a relative newcomer, founded in 2016 by the grandson of William Wood, a firefighter of over 25 years with the British Fire Service.
